A couple color photos from Saturday's #photowalk. Not sure any of these work as well as I wanted. I feel like I like color photos more when the sun is giving some shadows to play with. Which was not the case in #Portland last weekend. #photography

Three black and whites from Saturday's #photowalk in downtown #Portland. Pretty happy with the first two, but the last one feels like something is off. Not sure what.

Maybe this is just a personal preference but I don't think I am going to take writing advice from tools made by people who think the ultimate form of literature is two modems making dial up sounds at each other

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

I don’t even know why I apply for jobs when they always go to people with famous dads

‘Dark, like our future’: Iranians describe scenes of catastrophe after Tehran’s oil depots bombed Residents report terror of smoke-filled city, from potentially toxic rain, air and water to food scarcity and difficulty of escape

“Tehran is burning. And smoke has filled the streets. It’s impossible to drive out of the city right now and even with the windows closed, heavy smoke is making its way inside."

Read every word.

Dude came in like a blue shell out of nowhere to steal the win 😂

The first draft of Vampire Detective Agency: Double Date is done. Thirty seven chapters. 82,599 words. Twice as many steamy makeouts. Three new characters. And the same angry vampire at the heart of a mystery, Veronica stuck with the same luckless loser human, Larry. #indieauthor

i hate this stupid fucking system more than anything in the world. a system that benefits nobody, actively harms everybody, could be changed at literally any point in time, YET WE STILL KEEP DOING THIS MADNESS ANYWAY. YEAR AFTER YEAR WE DO THIS STUPID SONG AND DANCE FOR NO GOD DAMN REASON

Spilled soda on my keyboard. Was sad for a few mins then realized I didn't really love this keyboard anyway. So I bought a new keyboard. It better be good. Because I've got a lot more soda. 😄

Gen Z males twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands Global survey shows young men and boys hold more traditional views about gender roles than older generations

I sense twice as many Gen Z dudes will not be getting anywhere near a woman anytime soon

I don't understand how the economics will work if it really allows you to install Steam. Consoles are subsidized by game licensing. If devs can release on Steam and players can play Steam PC games on this box... where and how is MS making money on those games?

I think the original plan was 2027, because they're getting their teeth kicked in by Sony and want to move on from the Series X generation. But, with RAM pricing only going up? Oof. Could be 2028 now.

Your phone is filtering them? I keep getting all of them on my iPhone.

As Jason noted in his article, Sony didn’t see a way forward on PC b/c Valve gets 30% of every sale. I don’t see how MS overcomes that either if the XboxPC can install Steam. I think in the end this PC dance becomes a weird one off thing that both companies back away from.

back-to-back eShop listings for "Spa Massage Girls: Love & Relax" and "Anime Love Chat Girls"

thank god they censored Dispatch on the eShop

Started reading this last evening. It's a great romp. The main characters are quite likeable and I'm rooting for them. Just about to begin Chapter 25. This book is a great read. Thrills, mystery and a nice amount of spice.

Love this nice little blurb about my Vampire Detective book. Helps this #indieauthor keep writing.

The preposterous idea that the US had to strike Iran before Israel did because an Israeli pre-emptive strike would have put troops in the region in danger could be the most gutless lie ever spewed by buck-passing men famous for spewing the most gutless lies in modern history.

the people who write for NYT and other outlets like it complaining about being criticized on here for being a part of malignant consent manufacturing institutions with massive anti-trans, pro-Israel bias like this baffle me. putting aside that no one is entitled to a job: this what you signed up for

#indieauthor February update. Tested some ads. Averaging about an ebook sale a day which does not cover the cost of ads. But I do think when I have more of a back catalog the ads will pay for themselves.

Today’s photo walk in Oregon City felt like a bit of a bust. However, any practice is good practice.

It is difficult to make one’s self crystal clear on social media due to the limited character count. So, if I may: Fuck this man. May he fuck off into the sun, never to return. May his name become synonymous with the spineless cretins we avoid like the plague. May we never see his kind again.

The way people tell me “you’re much too political” bitch, do you think I WANT TO BE? I want to be sitting on a fucking beach and drinking cocktails without a care in the world but you fuckers keep voting in FASCISTS!

Absolutely fuck any government official that supports this shit. They should never hold public office another day, another minute, in their entire lives

I for one think Trump should be impeached, removed, and launched into the sun.

Fuck every Trump voter forever.

Capturing The Cold Light Another month of winter done, and now we must look forward to the call of spring. What brighter days await us?

Another month of winter done, and now we must look forward to the call of spring. What brighter days await us? - I’ve posted my second monthly blog post of the year. A few small tidbits and updates. If you’re looking for news about vampire ARCs or the fate of Agent Davidson, this is not your update.

Look, I'm calorie counting and I didn't feel like having to do more dishes, don't judge me

counterstrike boxes bear the lion's share of blame for an entire generation's spiral into gambling addiction IMO. and i say this as a certified dota 2 whale (no really).
